This book is a delight. I volunteer at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site and we continue to restore Mrs. Harrison's gowns. She has some of the most exquisite gowns and interesting day dresses and suits. I would love to be able to share this book with our volunteers and gleen all the wonderful information on how period clothing was created. I have made one jacket and walking skirt by the old methods and it fits much better than today's clothing. Thank you for wanting to share this book with some deserving person. I selfishly hope it might be me.

I recently got a Babylock 8-thread and this book looks like just what the doctor ordered. It is on my list of must haves.
